[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're considering a religious private school for our two little ones, but it's important to us that the school is inclusive (we are a 2-mom family). Are there any religious private schools that are LGBTQ-affirming?

Our Savior Lutheran School, for instance, is associated with the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod which is most certainly not LGBTQ-affirming, but [b]the school's website also advertises a "tolerant and inclusive" environment[/b][i]. I don't live in the area yet so I can't tour the school and ask the question outright. I'm curious about your thoughts.

I see a few non-religious private schools that advertise their commitment to inclusivity, some of them even explicitly stating "sexual orientation" in their non-discrimination policy (like Grace Episcopal School in Alexandria). For this reason a non-religious private school is our first choice, but I don't want to rule out all the religious schools if we don't have to.

Thank you for your insight![/quote]

I agree with the poster about confirming the candidate schools have a history of actual exclusivity.  A school policy can simply be marketing. What the school, or any organization, wants to stand for can be far from whats accepted by the student body and parents. BTDT!

After DCUM, I'd suggest reaching out to a nearby Unitarian church/minster for recommendations.[/quote]
